Our birding day tours in Guatemala are privately operated, with departures from major destinations such as Guatemala City, Antigua Guatemala, Lake Atitlan, and the Peten Region, in the Mayan lowlands of Guatemala.

Our tours are perfect for general birding, the top of a bucket list, or a photography trip.

The most popular destinations in the Peten region are the Tikal National Park, the Yaxha Archaeological Site, and the Ceibal Archaeological Site.

Trips are regularly organized from Guatemala City or Antigua to visit the private nature reserve of El Pilar or the Tecpan area.

For example, in Lake Atitlan, you can visit destinations such as El Rey Tepepul reserve, Paquisis volcano, a trip along the shores of the Lake, the Tecpan area, and the Tarrales private nature reserve.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we can include other destinations in our day tours.

However, we must travel long distances and leave early to take advantage of bird activity.

Please, do not hesitate to contact us to organize a trip that meets your expectations.

Above all, we are a tailor-made tour operator with the experience and knowledge to advise you to achieve your goal.
